Solution

The correct option is A Pepsinogen - Chief cells
Chief cells (or peptic cells) secrete gastric digestive enzymes as proenzymes - pepsinogen and prorennin.
Parietal cells (or oxyntic cells) secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl). HCl helps in converting pepsinogen to pepsin.
Globlet cells secrete mucus which helps to neutralise acid in stomach and protects stomach wall against HCl action.
